I tried it with Portal. It worked alright...except for one thing: I tried setting one of the joysticks so I could look around. It wouldn't look up or down. I tried setting some of the buttons for look up and down. Still Nothing.

Can anybody help me?

Also, how do I use it with Portal?

I got a 360 gamepad and i made it work, just like the xbox version where if my stick moves a little my player moves real slow. The valve blog talks about how to do it.

If I were doing this, that's probably where I would start. You'd be wise to do a little looking next time.

You gotta be ready all the time, like Hober.

Using an XBox 360 Controller with Source Games
Question

How can I set up my Xbox 360 controller work with Source games?
Answer

To make both of the analog sticks work in Source games copy the joystick.cfg file and put it in the /cfg/ folder for your game.
joystick.cfg

Download joystick.cfg

The path to the /cfg/ folder will vary depending upon the game you are using - the folder path will look like this (where is your Steam account username and / is the game's title / abbreviated title):

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\\\\cfg

After placing the joystick.cfg file please load the game. Once the the game is loaded please follow the instructions below:

1. Check the 'Joystick', and 'Joystick Look' boxes under the 'Mouse' tab in the options menu.
2. Go to Keyboard, Advanced, and check the 'Enable Developers Console (~)' box.
3. Open the Developer Console with the ~ key, and type exec joystick

You can then bind the additional keys (such as fire, reload, etc.) using the keyboard menu.

If you would like to use the typical Xbox controller setup, copy the following lines into the top of the config.cfg file for the proper game using notepad. The config.cfg file can be found in the same location referenced above - or enter each line manually into the developers console.
bind "JOY1" "+jump"
bind "JOY2" "+reload"
bind "JOY3" "+speed"
bind "JOY4" "+use"
bind "AUX5" "+attack2"
bind "AUX6" "+attack"
bind "AUX7" "impulse 100"
bind "AUX9" "+duck"
bind "AUX10" "+zoom"
bind "AUX29" "lastinv"
bind "AUX30" "invnext"
bind "AUX31" "phys_swap"
bind "AUX32" "invprev"

Keyboard or mouse?

Where is the Joypad Look checkbox thing?
